  • The teacher’s purpose is ‘to motivate the student beyond their level of competence’. Given a teacher’s years of studying a certain subject or honing their own depth as a student, should we be taking this literally, or interpreting it from another angle?
  • What are some practical strategies a teacher can take to ensure that students attain the three tiers (information, habit formation, character formation) that Schlect laid out?
  • Are there any habits or traits you would change within Schlect’s three tiers?
  • Discuss with yourself and with peers/mentors how you would rank the three tiers in terms of importance, and why.
